    Does anyone knows the difference between the radios below? They both came from a TRD Off Road premium. One is from a 2018(non-sd card) and the other one from a 2019(with sd card/navigation). Just want to know if the non-sd card will act like an apple car play/android by connecting you phone to it.

    But both models came with the usb outlet. If you plug the phone to the radio without the sd-slot, what would it do??

    The SD slot is just for Navi info. When I plugged my iPhone into my 19 it would just show a generic play screen.

    Does your radio has the sd slot or just the play button instead?

    From what I understand 2020+ models have built in Apple Carplay / Android Auto into the headunit. If you want Carplay or Android Auto on your 2014-2019 you would need something like this; (or upgrade your headunit)

    SD slot because the premium units had built in navi.
